The first poll, to the Panchayats, was not partisan, and things were very 
civil. The assembly came next, with the Congress lead by Mr. Kakodkar and Jack 
in charge of his combine. I still remember the MGP handbills: they said one 
thing, and just that one thing - Goa would be 'lost to us' just as 'Belgaon was 
lost to us', all in a long piece about the Canara threat and clear race bait. 
It did not help that Nijilingappa had been strident in voicing a corny Mysore 
claim to the young Territory.  We see the face of Mr. Bandodkar in it all, but 
the real CEO of the machine was chef-de-cabinet, young Mr. Rane, whose agenda 
can be understood, given his ethnic and geo background. Catholics were never an 
issue, not atleast until Jack became a cog in the wheel of the Marathwadi soul 
movement. Sadly, that is the way it was.                  eric.
